contract phone

contract phone

i'm gettin a contract phone today hopefully, just wondrin if anyone's used o2 online tariffs before? i just wana set it up so that once i've used up my msgs n minutes it cuts off so i cant use it anymore, i know you can do that buyin from a store but not sure with th online tariffs. anyone know?

cheers

they are usually pretty good the online tariffs with any network...

i would advise you against o2 though

mines o2 online. I got mine when it was still genie. £20 for 600 txts and 100 mins and 100 web mins. I only ever really txt and use the web on my phone to check emails so it suits me.

cool. i rarely ring ppl like cos i can either use the works phone or the house phone lol. the tariff i'm gettin is 500 txts and 50mins for £20. n i'll do a 100 txt bolt-on for £5 so its only £25 for 600 txts and 50mins pretty good like.

why would you advise agenst o2 mate? i've looked on other networks websites n it seems to be the best by far (for price)

Do a search on here and see how many threads there are about o2

They aint bigging it up

what ive found is that it costs a fortune to contact them if you have any problems and have an online tariff. Its premium rate. The o2 shops wont help you out. But apart from that ive had no problems.

i remember there bein a few now you've mentioned it

i'm on there pay as you go at th mo, n it's good value but recently my msgs aren't bein received by other ppl sumtimes

i will end up goin on o2 like, stayin away from orange that's for sure! £165 in 2 weeks th last time i was with them (more my fault than theirs admittedly)

suppose if it does go tits up you can email them n they can sort it out that way. lets hope sony ericssons are reliable so it doesn't come down to that

I have had no bother with o2 as of yet 2 years ive been with them

well it's ordered now so fingers crossed nothing will go wrong!

the camera on the w800i is class so i should get some spiffin club photee's

4 years with orange and not one single problem

I want that when i get my upgrade nest month

Orange are ok but they're so slow in releasing handsets! The one I want has been "Coming Soon" since July! :evil:

Good thing about them though is they'll match any price plan from any other network and signal coverage is far generally excellent wherever in the country you are.

Tell us what its like when you get it, getting an upgrade in the next couple of months and that one looks class.

yeah, you just tell em youve been offered better elsewhere and they bend over backwards for you

and they always send my new phones out straightaway..

will do

I've been doing that for ages, never paid for an upgrade phone for about 5 years now. Think I may have to this time though as I'm not as high a user as I used to be. I know people who work in retentions there and I've not really got many customer points or whatever they work off!

Thinking about changing my number anyway as too many people have it that I don't want to have it so might disconnect and get a better deal as a new customer!

yeah, if youre not arsed about keeping the same number then id recommend starting again, you will probably be able to get a better deal, plus people you dont want to have your number wont be able to annoy you anymore!

they were pretty funny with me at first about wanting a new deal but keeping the same number, they did it in the end though!

ive been getting free upgrades as well, and im not a massively high user either

I want a new phone and a good tariff. All I use it for is to text.

Any suugestions on either?

People slate o2 but I've never had a problem with them. I've got o2 online and get 500 free texts and I think it's 200 minutes a month for £30, which is perfect for me.

When I got my phone nicked a few months ago they were very helpful (once I actually got thru to them!) and sent me a new phone very quickly
